TriggerBlade Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 Vanilla+ Save File View File Welcome to my latest save! Vanilla Plus. This save is centered on expanding the vanilla experience by implementing the lore, relationships, and enhanced gameplay one would expect if EA had quality control and went back and updated older sims with added features from their packs. Sims will know their neighbors, will have relationship ties to other sims based on trailer footage, corrected occupations that are stated in lore but were added in another expansion (The Mayor of Strangerville being in City Living's political career as an example), and skills one would realistically have. It's not perfect but I am one person trying to fix an allegedly AAA game by filling out milestones, skills, outfits, and all sorts of things that EA should have been on top of from the get go. Because this is Lovers Lab, CinErotique has been integrated into the save and I have treated the Cinreality videos as "canon". All Sims that have been given touch ups and are completely fleshed out can be found in "My Households." Sims that have minimal or no attention beyond basic set up will be in "Other Households." Autonomy, Aging, and Neighborhood Stories are turned off by default. Enable at your leisure. Do NOT play any sims labeled as NPCs or Townies unless you download Gauntlet's mods below. They'll be replaced with crappy random generated Sims if you do. Contributors: @Chindai Lou: Primary Sim Redesign @GhostJ27F: Sim and Lot Design @PECO.: Sim Contribution What's Currently in the save: => Completely Upscaled Versions of Almost Every Base Game Sim => Maxis Gallery Sims integrated into the world as NPCs and Townies => Several Updated Lots with items from other packs (More to come) => Pets given to several families => Corrected skills, milestones, college degrees and careers for almost all sims => Several new clubs based around every pack. => More Holidays! => If you're able to get it work, lots for Turbo Careers => More to come! =Requirements= I have used all Expansions, Packs, Add-Ons, and Kits to some degree. If anything is missing, well now you know why. Hard Requirements (I offer no promises of your game functioning properly without these) Wicked Whims (Patreon Version Supported) Basemental Drugs (Patreon Version Supported) Basemental Gambling (Patreon Version Supported) CinErotique 15 Clubs Per Sim Clubs Improvement Mods (No Gatherings and Invite Limit) Custom Club Interactions More Selectable Icons Adult Work Enterprises - Pornography Career XML Injector Lot 51 Core Library Universal Venue List Lumpinou's Mood Pack Mod General Pie Menu Trait Tracker Injector (Needed for a lot of mods below) Unlocked Early Purchase Incentive (Your game won't break without this but lots of items will be missing.) Love Struck Early Purchase Incentive (Your game won't break without this but lots of items will be missing.) The following mods are curated based on expanding the functionality of the base game, fixing glaring issues with EA's execution, and amending the many, MANY bugs the game has. None of them are strictly necessary but they will make the experience more enjoyable or at least more stable. I don't want any complaints about things missing or if you don't download something. Core Game Expansion Spoiler Career Overhaul Suite This mod integrates skills and gameplay from other packs and even assigns a college degree requirement for some careers. Character Values Overhaul EA's implementation is undercooked. This ensures that all traits and gameplay work well together. Meaningful Stories Fleshes out the mood system in a way that makes it more meaningful and impactful. Fitness Control The way sims gain and lose fat and muscle is broken. This mod fixes and enhances it. Sim Fulfillment Overhaul Did you know that the Sims 4 had a fulfillment system like Sims 2? Well I didn't! It's a buried feature that barely effects your game. This mod fixes that. Hire certain Vet Employees, Hire certain Sims (incl. Family Members) at Restaurants, and Retail Overhaul - Hire certain Employees Why EA randomizes your options for employees is beyond me. These mods will make your lives easier. More Sims In The World EA keeps making larger and larger worlds that end up being ghost towns because of the hard limit on how many sims can show up at once. While making this save it didn't really seem like an issue when I was working on early worlds like Willowcreek, but despite knowing that there are about 20 sims around, I could only ever find like one because the areas are just that massive. This should fix that. Gauntlet NPC Mods These are essential if you want to interact with NPCs and townies without ruining their established roles. They fill up the reward trait section. If that bothers you don't invite any NPCs into your household. Spoiler Hybrid Through Gameplay This one is optional for those who miss the days of Sims 2 Hybrids. Bigfoot Purely a gameplay enhancement and not required. Reaper Actions Unlocker Grim Reaper Optionals I only use the outfit lock and floating walk from this mod. I highly suggest the outfit lock if you want some NPCs to work properly. Jungle Adventure Vender Careers Cottage Living NPCs Growing Together NPCs Discover University NPCs and Careers Get Famous Careers Outdoor Retreat NPCs and Careers High School Years and NPCs Half of the households in Copperdale are NPCs and if you play any of them the game wigs out and spawns new ones. It's the only hard recommendation I will make. Realm of Magic NPCs Journey to Batuu I don't think anyone actually wants to have these NPCs in their household but if you wanna Marry Rey or Kylo Ren then use this. Servo Lifestate Customs This is the easiest way to make custom servos. Make sure you get the cloned trait. Repo-Person Career I never have my stuff repossessed but this is used only by Malcom Landgraab Sr. since that's what he did in Bustin' Out. NPC Dine Out / Retail / Vet Careers FOLLOW THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS OR I SWEAR TO GOD. NPC Dine Out Careers NPC Get to Work Careers StrangerVille Careers + NPCs NPC Trainer Career NPC Bartender Careers + Werewolf NPCs NPC Fisherman Career NPC House DJ Career (Multiple Housed Characters have this job) NPC Butler Career NPC Flower Bunny Career NPC Mail Carrier Career NPC Gardener Careers NPC Bar Regular Career NPC Pizza Delivery Career NPC Maid Career NPC Repair and Landlord Careers and City Living NPCs Horse Ranch Careers + NPCs NPC Tragic Clown Career NPC Paranormal Careers and NPC Definition NPC Librarian Career NPC Nanny Career NPC Firefighter Career NPC Father Winter Career NPC Barista Career NPC Adoption Agent Career Eco Lifestyle Careers and NPCs Lovestruck NPC Definition Gameplay Enhancement Spoiler LGBTQIA+ Mod This mod fleshes out gender and sexuality. Not required as I use it as a faster way to change gender and sexuality instead of going into CAS but the features are nice and expand story telling. Juicier For Rent Secrets! This makes the secrets more varied and more interesting than the tame stuff EA has. Better Reactions This makes your sims react to their environment in appropriate ways based on several factors. Laundry Overhaul Parts 1, 2, & 3 Are you tired of micromanaging laundry? Want some realism? Want to not lose clothing when changing outfits? Then these mods are for you. More Costume Options for Wear Costume Holiday What it says on the tin. Adds more variety. Sell More Knitting Objects Via Retail For some reason some of the stuff from knitting can't be sold in retail. This fixes that. Play your own Tracks as a DJ I don't know why I'm surprised anymore with stuff this basic. Expanded Storytelling Relationship Bits Mod: 1 & 2 RelBits are rather lacking. This mod expands things greatly. Homeless Pregnancies, Adoptions & Deaths Some Neighborhood Stories features are disabled for homeless sims. This is likely to prevent issues with NPCs but I'm willing to risk it. Better Sleep Autonomy What it says on the tin. EA's version is jank, this improves things. School Tweaks This adds further gameplay to school lockers giving them more of a reason to exist. A good addition is that you can assign lockers to specific sims. Basemental Add-ons adds a bunch of features to Basemental Drugs. I use the sketchy trait quite a lot. Go for a Jog... Together! Turns jogging into a potential social interaction. More Food at Cafe Adds more cakes, bagels and stuff to order at café venues. Parenthood Discipline Allows cross compatibility between Parenthood and High School Years Toddler Conversation Expander Expands Toddler gameplay Teenage Interaction Reactions Adds more teen and parenthood reactions. Monument Interactions There's a lot of nice pretty looking things in the world... that have no interactions involved. This fixes that. LOVESTRUCK Mini Water Tower EA ignored cross pack compatibility again. Everyone Can Play Marbles There is legit no reason why adults can't play marbles. Kids Can Take care Mini Animal One of the few child interaction unlocks that makes sense to me. Self Manicure and Pedicure They gave us nails but no way to get them done without CAS or going to a spa. Spooky Spirit Tradition Overhaul Adds actions from other packs to the tradition. Crush Overhaul Does what it says on the tin for those who want things more fleshed out. Longer Parties & More Guests Does what it says on the tin as well as a simple version of the 20 sim cap remover. Flea Market Refresh Cross compatibility with other packs and adds other items that the market didn't normally have. New Gameplay Spoiler Lead Horse This mod allows you to lead your horse around without having to ride it. Go for a walk with more Pets I don't know many people who only take one of their pets out on a walk at a time. Retail Overhaul Clothing: Want sims to try on outfits before purchasing them? Here you go. Retail Overhaul More Options: This will allow you to purchase extra items from displays in stores you don't own. Kids can go for a Walk with Dogs Kids don't get enough love. This allows a basic interaction to happen. Lively Towns Adds registers that sell specific items. Used to make community lots more varied. Bus Upon a Time – Travel Mod Adds an easy to use travel system to the world that includes hidden lots. Modern Family Portrait Easy Family Portraits Retail Therapy More purchase options in the world. Sports Retail Therapy Ditto Shop Chef Ingredients Ditto Again Shop Chef Consumables Ditto one more! Archaeology Kit 2 Makes archeology relevant to all worlds Home Regions This mod will keep sims in their neighborhoods to make the regions feel unique. I threw in enough NPCs for that not to be a concern. Townie Demographics This will make randomly generated sims have names, traits, and appearances matching their location. Language Barriers This will make your neighborhoods feel even more unique with non-American and British worlds having unique languages. Extra Parenting Interactions At Any Age Allows elders to parent their adult and young adult children. Traits, Aspirations, Sentiments, and Milestones Spoiler More Traits for Compatibility and Self-Discovery Systems 100% Optional Sim Traits Voidcritter Collector Piercing Enthusiast Lifetime Quirks Lot Traits Art Gallery Beach House Bowling Alley Bridal Shop Campground Casino Haunted Locations Allows hauntings in all lots. Laundromat Magical Study Spot Lot Trait Media Production Studio Movie Theater Nectary Aspirations Hobby Aspiration Bundle 1 Hobby Aspiration Bundle 2 Dedicated Environmentalist Get To Work Aspirations Military Hero Aspiration Sentiments PETS - Pets to Sims, Sims to Pets Sentiments No Time Decay for Sentiments Sentiments no longer go away on their own. You have to solve issues through interactions now and act on things like crushes. Milestones Max Out Skills Milestones (Optional) 40 NEW MILESTONES The Milestone Mod Delete the get famous file if you use Lumpinou’s mod below. Milestones Expanded – a Sims 4 Mod This expands the Milestone system and adds a whole lot of basic Milestones I thought were part of the game, allows you to make social bunny post about them, and adds relationship bits too. You also can get moods based off memories of the milestones like how Sims 2 memories worked. Preferences Lovestruck broke custom preferences and Zerbu needed to make a framework to fix it. Spoiler The Custom Preferences Mod REQUIRED Naughty CAS Preferences Adds sex and Porn watching as preferences. Pizza Preferences Occult Preferences Mod Functional Objects Some objects that should do something don't. EA has gone back and given some things function but there's still a lot missing. Spoiler More Rounded and Functional "Snack Clutter for Party People" Sims 4 Bathroom Clutter Kits Become Functional Everyday Clutter Kits Object Become Functional Lovestruck Workout Gear Set Become Functional VIP Bucket Clutter Object Become Functional Decor with a Purpose: Functional Makeup Decor with a Purpose: Bathroom Cabinets Decor with a Purpose: Functional Shower Supplies Decor with a Purpose: Useful Hand Soap Decor with a Purpose: Functional Sunblock Decor with a Purpose: Functional Tissue Box Decor with a Purpose: Functional Coat Racks Decor with a Purpose: Books & Magazines as Bookshelves Decor with a Purpose: Functional Lotion Decor with a Purpose: Functional Beach Basket Decor with a Purpose: Functional Bath Towels Decor with a Purpose: Usable Toothbrushes Decor with a Purpose: Useful Pens & Pencils Decor with a Purpose: Functional Perfume and Cologne Decor with a Purpose: Functional Coat Racks OR Quick Outfits Grab Fruit From Fruit Bowls Realism Mods Spoiler Entrance Fee on Community Lots | Custom Lot Trait This mod charges you on certain lots that would have an entry fee such as a night club or a gym. Regional Tweaks This mod will keep Career Events and Invites to certain regions so you're not casually invited to grab a drink with a work friend in Japan when you're in Mexico. RSM - Purchased Items delivered via Mail EA is very inconsistent with how shopping online works. This will make sure everything is delivered to your mailbox. Create Trendi Fashion Look Online Why EA thought millennials and Gen Z would go to stores in person exclusively is beyond me. Immersive Social Bunny This makes the logic behind Social Bunny work better and gives more varied and thought out responses and functionality. Better WooHoo Reactions Stops the weird animations and SFX effects when asking someone for WooHoo. Cottage Living Phone Booth and Finchwick Buildings Become Functional It does what's on the tin. Gives you more reason to explore Henford's village. Situational Patient Clothes I don't know about you, but I usually keep my clothing on when I visit a doctor unless I am explicitly having a test done. This is what the mod does. No Athletic Outfit on Hospital Treadmill Same as the above but sims will put on a patient gown. Realistic Childbirth Does what it says on the tin. No more weird machine c-sections... Unless you want that. This one is optional and will only lead to an empty room or two in the hospital if you don't use it. Ages Behavior Tweak When you exclude toddlers and infants, Sims all behave mostly the same. This changes that in a realistic way. Tea Brewing on Stoves Does what it says on the tin. Pier Attractions Cost Money Does what it says on the tin. Longer Prom Prom will take 6 hours instead of 4. No Free Snacks Enjoy paying for those chips! Nectar Allows Toilet Vomiting Throw up from wine. Careers These are here as there are several sims who would otherwise have no career and potentially be sorted in an unfitting one. Spoiler Adult Work Enterprises - Escort Career Wand Maker Broomstick Maker Magic Healer Master Duelist Business Owner (Optional) Restaurant Owner (Optional) Equestrian Career Food Stand Owner Landlord Career Music Artist Career Rancher Career Retired Career Stay-at-Home Parent University Student or Work Study Student Vet Clinic Owner Career Farmer Career (Required) Pet Trainer Plopsy Seller Career Simtuber Career Skier Career (Optional) Snowboarder Career (Optional) Nectar Maker Career Singer Career (Required) Events Spoiler Bachelor/Bachelorette Party Mod! Considering Lovestruck's kinkiness you would think that EA would do something about the sanitized party. Sims 1, 2, and 3 had strippers for your parties and this adds them back as well as some minor additions to make it more engaging. Campaign Rally Event (Requirement) For those who want to be more active in their politics career without downloading an overhaul making it an actual active career. Comedy Performance Event, Recital Event and Singing Gig Event these flesh out the entertainer career without making it an actual active career. Red Carpet Event (Requirement) For actors who want even more fan meet ups. Adult Mods Spoiler Kink Expansion Alchemist's Kinky Expansions Big Dick Problems Skarrds Perverted Expansion Pack Vulgar Language for WickedWhims Sensual Studio Supern4tural Dildos CumMesh v2 Spent's Cum Corner Traits Slut Horny Pregnancy Glow Bimbo | Fuckboy Sex Addict Tight Visuals Spoiler Blush Mod This will apply a temporary blush to your sims' face based on several factors. Are they angry? Flirty? Embarrassed? Drunk? It covers just about every experience that would cause your cheeks to turn red. Bruises Mod This will apply temporary bruises to the loser of a fight. Crying Mod This will add tear welling if sims are slightly sad and tears flowing down their faces if they're VERY sad. Tiredness Mod This adds temporary bags and dark circles to your sims' eyes with greater intensity the lower and lower their energy gets. Online Gaming with "Headsets" A simple realism mod that adds gaming headsets to sims playing online. Toddler Play in Ocean with Seashell (instead of a Duck) What it says on the tin. Auto Shorter Teens While it won't do anything for teens already existing in the save. It will make children growing into teens shorter to make them stand out from adults. It's less intrusive than slider mods. Show Parent's Name in Advice Question A QoL tweak that the game should have by default. Customer Carry Shopping Bag After Purchase Take off Shoes with animation Want your sims to actually take their shoes off instead of spinning around and having their shoes disappear? This mod is for you. More Indoor Slippers adds variety No Shoes While Swimming For those like me who like to have nice beach wear, this will remove any flipflops or sandals when swimming. More Visible Wall Objects Does what it says on the tin. Angry Walk Style Later Sims will only use the angry walk style when they are very angry. Sleepy Walk Style Reduced Same as the above. Don't download the version with the eyebags if you're using the Tiredness mod. Has To Pee Walk Style for Child Only I can't imagine an adult doing the pee waddle. If you know of a mod that includes the childish trait let me know. Wrinkles For Adults When young adults age up to adults they will now get minor wrinkles. Ice cream Deco Ice cream will be decorated (garnish/topping) by default. Especially useful for restaurants. Updated Map Lot Thumbnails Not sure if this is a fix or not but I'm throwing it here since it's purely visual. Occult I know some people don't like them but gosh darn it I do and they need to be fleshed out to their full potential! Spoiler Expanded Realm of Magic Adds more spellcaster gameplay and the ability to play as a Sage. Something that should have been in the base game. Magic for Werewolves Adds "Mooncasters". The strange thing about these is that they're stated to be a thing in lore in the Werewolf pack. Greg is a werewolf spellcaster who pissed off Vlad from the Vampire pack and several spellcasters from that Magic pack. Magic for Vampires There isn't any real lore for Blood Mages but I'm adding it to round it out. It was made by the same guy who made the above mod so why not? A whole lot of improvement to the bloodline system across the board. Bloodlines Unleashed Vampire Bloodlines Werewolf Bloodlines Mermaid Bloodlines Alien Bloodlines Servo Bloodlines Skeleton Bloodlines Plantsim Bloodlines. Bloodline Cheats Vampire Drink Tasty Sim Mark Just marks your vamp's favorite sim to drink from. Without this mod you'll have to rely on your memory. Occult Toddler Quirks Makes toddlers have occult gameplay. Traits for the Offspring of NPCs Know how you can get a special trait from having Father Winter be a parent? This does this for ALL NPCs. (Grim Reaper is now redundant) Ghastly Ghosts Makes ghost have more gameplay. Only certain sims can even see them and they stop calling you on the phone. Simghostic Memory If you're a child of a ghost, you will gain a trait that makes you immune or resistant to that method of death. The downside is that ghost can't get pregnant or impregnate others so the father has to die in a specific way before the mother gives birth. Ghosts Can Have Babies! This mod fixes the downside of the above mod completely. There are no baby ghost though like in Sims 2 and 3. Sim 4's engine design can't handle something like that without crying. Ghosts Have Fewer Motives Makes it so ghost don't feel like every other sim. PlantSim Lives Plant Sim Interactions These mods when combined make Plant Sims a fully functional lifestate with all sorts of benefits. PlantSim Compatible Drink Trays Just something to expand your plant sim gameplay. Immortal Wolf Nerfed Unlike Vampire and Spellcaster immortality, Werewolf Immortality protects you from dying under ANY context. This fixes that and restricts it to the same rules of the other immortality traits. Vampires No Cold Breath Simply makes it that vampires don't show breath in the cold because they're not supposed to be breathing. Feral Run Lowers Fury Makes your werewolf calm down once they get the zoomies out of their system. Kids Can Perform Magic says what it does on the tin. Realm of Magic - Tweaks & Fixes I list the ones I use, read the mod page for descriptions. Magic Training Fix Don't Turn NPCs Into Spellcasters No Situation Outfits Mages HQ Walkby Broom MagicHQ Only Wands Decrease Charge Create Motes Make Glowy Potion increases XP Spell Fixes Werwolf Club Activities Paranormal Club Activities Occult: Lore & Order A mod that tells the story from the werewolf pack but from the perspective of the vampires and spellcasters. More Dormant Occult Traits Like others on this list, this mod fleshes out EA's inconsistent occult programming. In the werewolf pack sims could be dormant werewolves that may need to do something to fully become one. This adds the option to Aliens, Mermaids, Spellcasters, and Vampires. Stealthy Aliens Stops Aliens from being found out just because they have a strong moodlet. No Pajamas for Coffins Stops vampires from changing into sleepwear for coffins. Tweaks Spoiler Twins Mod EA for some reason never put in twin recognition. Parenthood - Autonomous traits interactions Did you forget that Parenthood traits offer new gameplay beyond numbers? So did I. This mod makes Sims do it without player input. Do More With Earbuds I have no idea why EA restricts so many things when you have earbuds inside. An important one is working out. Get Famous from Running Your Restaurant The Sims 4 suffers from a lack of cross-pack interaction in a way that previous entries didn't. Now you can be a celebrity chef! Sell Honey At Grocery Stalls I don't know why you can't do this by default but now you can! Buy more Upgrade Parts Just a quality of life mod that you will definitely want. Livestreaming Availability Tweaks I know why this is restricted to the streamer career but A. I don't care and B. it's needed for one of the clubs I set up. No Burning Sun in Forgotten Hollow It's a gloomy dark enchanted place. The sun doesn't even come up. I don't know why the vamps burn. Clubs at School What it says on the tin. Faster Maintenance & Inspection - FOR RENT Good for landlord playing. Instead of looking at a single sink for 20ish minutes now it can be reduced to 1 or 5. Sims 4 For Rent - More Tenants In Shared Spaces For some reason the number of tenants permitted is very limited regardless of what other mods you use or your MCCC settings. Eco Dishwasher Stops sims from turning the dishwasher on when only one plate is inside. Less Autonomous Grilling Sims will only start grilling autonomously in the summer Season, and also less frequently than before. Lovestruck Patch Inclusivity Terms Rollback I don't like the attitude this was made with but with Lovestruck allowing you to customize your relationship label, I don't know why they made it gender neutral by default. Obviously this is optional. Sexy Pose determined by clothing preference instead of gender RSM (Cats & Dogs) - Call Over will wake up Pets RSM (Cats & Dogs) - Dogs change into Everyday Outfit after a Walk RSM (City Living) - Spice Market - Chilli, Curry, Saffron & Wasabi buyable RSM (Cottage Living) - Order More Groceries Followers for Fame When you gain a fame rank, you get social media followers. Volunteering Gives Fame Horse Jobs Give Relationship + Fun Horse Competitions Give More Skill Fireplace Autonomy Tweak Sims will only autonomously light a fireplace if they are actually in danger of freezing to death. Autonomous Slippyslide Tweak Sims will only use the slippy slide autonomously if it is hot outside. Less NPC Grilling Reduces autonomous NPC grilling in the open areas of a neighborhood as one of the main factors of your Sims getting fat while you're playing other households. Amazing Promotion Sims can congratulate others on their promotion, brag about their own promotion, talk or complain about work. Sims will get to know the career of the target sim if they talk or complain about work. Nature Walk for Everyone Sims not in the gardening career can also do nature walks and will gain gardening skills from doing it. Mistletoe Kiss in Winter Only Visible Weather Temperature Traits Visible Political Position Trait Cottage Animals Live Longer Sit During Lounge Events Watch Speech Tweak Enhances the probabilities of Sims autonomously listening to a speech. Sims will also sit and gain Charisma while watching a speech. More Healthy Food Makes more food dishes count towards the healthy lifestyle. Requires Snowy Escape. Eat at Dining Table Sims will prefer dining tables above bars or desks when consuming something. Slower Coffee Tea Spoiling Coffee and tea stay fresh longer. No Death From Stink Capsules So you don't accidentally murder your schoolmate just for having fun. Longer Starlight Accolades Events! To give you more time to bang all the celebrities or something. Faster Tutor Class in Discover University EA has it at 5 hours... WHY?! Sync all Radiators from Thermostat EA introducing multiple temperature control items and half of them don't work together. Random Umbrella for NPCs Does what it says on the tin. Fixes Spoiler Simulation Lag Fix & Simulation Unclogger clears up all the behind the scene bullshit that EA's spaghetti code causes. It won't fix your game but if you ever feel like it's unplayable, this helps. Lightsaber Fix Stops lightsabers from being deleted from other household inventories. Voidcritter Card Inventory Fix Does the same for Voidcritter Cards "Try for Baby" interactions FIXES & Woohoo in Wall Closet FIX Try for a baby is outright broken if you do it anywhere but a bed. This fixes that. High School Spawn Fix This mod allows played teenagers you're not currently controlling to attend school. It's not a perfect fix as it just removes EA's bizarre reason to outright block non-random sims. RBF - Hatchable Eggs Safe in Coop The chicken coop is broken and doesn't do its job. This fixes that. RBF - NPC Relationship Autonomy Fix EA broke social Autonomy with High School Years and sims ask random relationship changing questions without the required stats. This fixes that. RBF - Ride/Trot/Canter Here Fix It does what it says on the tin. RBF - Spooky Candy Bowl = Trick Treat More of an oversight than anything else but if you're like me then this will fix a huge annoyance. RBF - StereoWall Channel Metal Sync Fix All of the Wall Stereos are synced... except for the metal one... Why EA? RBF - Trait Buff Fixes Traits can give sims random mood buffs... For some reason sims will get those buffs even if they don't have the trait. This fixes that. Other Mods - Eat at tables Fixes Sims not eating at tables. A bug that EA will never fix. Photos Give Relationship Gain Again I don't know why this was removed. Nectar Making With No CC Socks Some CC socks will remain on while making nectar. This fixes that. Base Game Matchmake Fix A little known gameplay feature is that you can convince two sims to start dating. However sometimes the game will think a single sim is in a relationship when they're not. Off The Grid Interactions Fix Some remote electronics that are battery powered aren't recognized. This fixes that. For Rent Unjustified Eviction Fix EA's eviction system is broken. This fixes that. Lovestruck: Ask To Work On Romance Dynamic Fix EA programmed it to always fail. This fixes that. Lovestruck: Ask to Just Be Friends Romantic Relationship Fix EA programmed this to not remove romance dynamics. This fixes that. Party Place Update/Fix This trait was broken and has never been updated with new parties. This fixes that. Discover University Bike Fix This file fixes the pedals of the bicycle that came with Discover University so that they now rotate correctly and don't float or sink into the ground when a Sim is riding. Remove Lifestyle Fix The base game is broken in that you'll still be bombarded with lifestyle moodlets even if you don't have that lifestyle anymore. Temperature Athletic Outfit Fix Works for work and situation outfits as well so your sims stop dying on mass. BBQ Holiday Tradition Fix EA broke BBQing so that some items don't contribute to the BBQ tradition. Holiday Present Fix EA broke the game so toddlers don't interact with Father Winter. No Free Ear Buds Someone help me find one that removes the free dance floor and we're solid. Work Tasks Fix RBF - Vampire Run Fix Vacuum Overhaul for Maids and Butlers (plus maids vacuuming bug fix) RBF - Deliver Baby at Hospital Wedding Stories Fixes Tweaks, and Additions This is a callout post to how broken and unoptimized this pack is. Spoiler Features Plan Wedding Outfit Lets you plan wedding outfits on mannequins. My Wedding Stories: Check Out Venue Overhaul Default has no reactions or moodlets. My Wedding Stories: Ask For Blessing To Marry Overhaul Default has no reactions or moodlets. Events Bridal Shower Event Wedding Stories should have had this but it didn't. Anniversary Event Wedding Stories should have had this but it didn't. Couple’s Anniversary Event Wedding Stories should have had this but it didn't. Honeymoon Event Wedding Stories should have had this but it didn't. Tweaks Paired Dancing Tweak Sims will slow dance longer. Moreover, failure outcomes (kiss, drop) will no longer occur completely random so they do make more sense. Less Bored Wedding Reaction Sims will react less bored to weddings. Less Spousal Kiss Failure The spousal kiss interaction will fail less and if so then due to appropriate moods/traits. Sit At Weddings. Sims will sit at weddings. They will no longer dance while watching the ceremony. Fixes Walk Aisle Goal Fix The walk aisle goal will no longer completed if your Sim walks the aisle with someone other than your spouse to be. Wedding Party Outfit Fix Your Sims will automatically wear formal wear at wedding and pre wedding parties. WeddingGP Socials Tweak Fixes several socials at weddings. Quality of Life Mods To remove various annoyances. I had no idea how badly the base game annoyed me until I put this list together. Spoiler Kutoue Mini Mods I list the ones I use, read the mod page for descriptions. Always Auto-Lights Regional Greetings No Crying in Beer Pong Just Go To Class Less Frequent Prom Take It Off: No Shoes! No Accessories! Sometimes it's fun to dress up sleeping outfits. However going to sleep with shoes and a bunch of accessories is uncomfortable and weird looking. So this fixes that. Better NPC Landlords Makes Landlords smarter. Not Sad About Holidays Makes it so your sims don't have chronic depression for missing out on a holiday. No Push-Up or Sit-Ups (at the wrong time or in the wrong place) If you don't have this, Sims will randomly gain fitness points and change body mass. Morning Routine (Seasonal Clothing) Makes it so you don't have to micromanage your sims' morning routine. Better Ranch Hands Stops Ranch Hands from doing stuff like baking cakes. Dark Hair for Asian Archetype Sims Imagine if Gingers and Blondes took over Japan. This prevents that. Rebalanced Townie Generation for Sulani, Mt Komorebi and San Myshuno If you're still allowing random generation then this will prevent certain cultures from overtaking the population of your game and will spawn in regions that make sense. HSY No Early Graduation Call I know this was probably to reduce repetition of having to do the graduation event multiple times but... you can just not do it anyways and have your sims do it rabbit hole style. Watch Movie and Be Quiet please RSM - Auto Grab Drink when Eating RSM - Auto Put Crafts in Inventory for the Kids Activity Table RSM - Auto Use Picnic Table when eating RSM - Prefer Leftovers RSM (Seasons) - No Kids Outdoor Objects in Rain or Heavy Snow RSM (Seasons) - Protective Raincoats RSM (Seasons) - Auto Open Umbrella on Rainy Days Only RSM (Spa Day) - NPCs Auto Massage & Meditation No Discovery Quests Stops constantly spamming you with tutorial quests. Minor Annoyances Collection I list the ones I use, read the mod page for descriptions. Disliked Things Are Boring Wave Goodbye React to Teleport and Cauldron No Preroll (Stops sims from jumping in the pool or using a locked computer when you load in) React to Collapsed Sims Automatic Thermostat Takes away realism but I hate setting this IRL so why would I want to do it in a game? Rabbithole Veterinary Makes it so you don't have to always go in person and wait for the vets to fix your pets. Immediate Deco Options for Unowned Lots not as realistic but it makes your neighborhood look nicer. Hiking Increases Herbalism Hiking in Granite Falls will increase herbalism skill. Visitors Not Spawning in Front of Venues Makes it that all the sims coming to a venue walk (optionally run) from the border of the map to the entrance as if they were walkbys. This is possibly needed if you use any mods that remove the 20 sim cap. I used to enjoy the walk version but with EA making larger and larger empty worlds, the run option just makes things faster. Family Reunion tweak: check household relationships not just current sim Long title explains what it does. Pet Event Sanity Depending on your lot and your pets traits, there is a repeated event that causes nothing but misery. No Waking Up to Pass Out For some reason EA set the pass out action at a high enough priority that if you're already in bed but have already passed the threshold, your sim will wake up, get out of bed, and pass out. This lets them stay asleep. Selective Auto Chat Stops strangers from randomly entering your conversations. Unique Sim Mods I made this list because I realized that there's a lot of tweaks and such that rather than simply fix a bug or change an annoyance, they actually make sims more unique. Spoiler Less React to Food Smell Only foodies and gluttons will idle react to the smell of food with this mod. New Interaction for Proper Trait Gives the proper trait more than just mood buffs! React to Mess Tweak Only Sims that are either in a bad mood or have the neat/proper/squeamish trait will react to messes with this mod. Less Autonomous Talk to Plants Only Sims with a gardening skill level of 9 or Sims with a gardening skill level of 5 and one of the following traits: insane, super green thumb, loner will talk to plants. Less Autonomous Play in Rain Only Sims at a certain age or those with the following traits will play in rain autonomously: toddler, child, childish, goofball, insane, rain lovers. Less Reaction to Swearing Only Sims with the traits good or good manners will react to another Sim’s swearing. Island Living Bartender Changes the bartender outfit for Sulani Less Autonomous Bath Makes most sims prefer showers with some exceptions. Better Introductions by Traits and Preferences What it says on the tin. Less Frequent Idles Just reduces the frequency. Doesn't intrude among other mods. Better Hygiene Reactions and Buffs by Traits Uncomfy Furnitures Buff by Traits No Learn Wealth Unless Materialistic and More No Judge Decor unless Snob & more No "Scared My Pants" If Brave & More Vendor Idles Swing and Play/Hug/Hit Stuffed Animals for Appropriate Age Groups Autonomy Mods Optional mods to make things more lively. Spoiler Autonomous Proposals! Autonomous First Kiss! Autonomous Weddings! Bonus Mods I didn't use these mods in the save but they provide a vanilla plus experience. Spoiler Turbo Careers I am setting up lots that can be used for this mod but I'm leaving it out of the save creation because it's rather intrusive and not everyone's cup of tea. The Sims 4 Go to School Mod Adds going to elementary school using High School Year's functions. Unless there's high demand I won't be including an elementary school lot by default. Have Some Personality Please! This mod "fixes" a lot of interactions in the game but I've stopped using it out of personal preference. Many of you may enjoy it though. Schedule Festivals Yourself I tried doing this myself but it got annoying real fast. I may give it another go if there's high demand but for now I'm just listing it in case someone does like them. Sulani Culture Skill Adds more gameplay and variety to Sulani. A bit much for me to manage so I left it out. Secrets Blackmail Overhaul Make blackmail your career! Grannies Cookbook This mod makes using custom food much easier. NPC Weddings and Invites Lovestruck made old weddings playable again but this still has some nice features for Wedding Stories. After School NPC Invites For some reason EA made it only work on the weekend. This fixes that. NPC Party Invites Let others throw parties for once. DBT (Death By Terror) What should be a base game feature was left out. I'm putting it here so you don't get broken ghost if you choose not to use it. Senior Trip In high school, at least in America, seniors are often given a chance to travel abroad if the school can afford it. Doesn't fit the vanilla plus goal but I thought some of you might appreciate it. Deep Indigo Tweaks This is a list of various tweaks and mini mods that may fit the vanilla+ style but I don't want to bog you down with too many gameplay changes. Deep Indigo Small Mods This is a list of various small mods that may fit the vanilla+ style but I don't want to bog you down with too many gameplay changes. Visible Hidden Needs Makes thirst as well as Oral and Hand Hygiene visible. Also expands on it. Expanded Gyms A more complex system than the venue fees mod I linked. I've put "Front Desks" in gyms to support it but as I said it's more complex and I didn't want to force it on you guys. Lovestruck Attraction Overhaul For some reason Lovestruck doesn't account for many physical traits and is almost entirely personality based. This expands the attraction system to include these things among others. I removed this from the main list and my mod folder because editing all this manually was giving me a headache and Wicked Whims has its own attraction system. TS2 Turn-Ons An alternative to the above. Townies Gain Skills I don't use this for setting up the save as I like having a certain preset but this is good for actual playing. 12&15 Hour Active Career Day with better Wages... Does what it says on the tin. I think it's plenty vanilla+ but it may be incompatible with other mods on the list and I don't wanna play that long personally. Famous Townies Preference Category (REQUIRES) A silly mod I wanted to share but won't be including in the save. Meaningful Wedding Stories Further fleshes out weddings. I didn't include it adds a lot more features rather than simply fixing things but I think you will like it. Pre-Rebranding Pack Icons For people who are tired of the minimalism companies are going for. Old Hair Rollback - Default Replacements 100% optional for those who liked the old hair more. Llama Scouts: Cookie Season Mod Occult Bonus Mods Same but I thought people would appreciate the separation. Spoiler More Drinks for Vampires I don't play Vampires regularly and it doesn't require any set up. Familiar Ghosthood I said earlier in the occult tab that ghost babies are kinda chaotic. I haven't tested this and I don't really want to. I may change my mind if I get comments saying it's good. Unicorn Mod adds Unicorns instead of it being an accessory. This REALLY pushes the line of Vanilla+ so I left it out. Expanded Mermaids I considered adding this when I listed Vampire and Werewolf magic mods but this adds just a bit too much that would possibly cause bloat. It includes two sub-states of Mermaids. Black Magic Mod expands the magical system for "evil" like magic that's less whimsical. Compatible with all the other magic overhauls and additions seeing as it was made by the same person. Age Progression for Vampires Alters how Vampires age. Occult Hybrid Unlocker & Stabilizer For those that are not fans of Gauntlet's version. Moonstone provides vampire Sims protection from the sun Does exactly what it says. Werewolf Fury Enhancer and Reducer Spells This is good with the Mooncaster mod so a werewolf can use magic to calm themselves down. Or an angry Bloodcaster can pull a prank. Dhampyrs Extended A bit invasive in my opinion to be Vanilla+ but it adds interesting gameplay for your Sims with a vampire parent. Create Plasma Packs from animals For your vampires who want a middle ground between drinking sim blood and eating plasmafruit. Werewolves can create raw meat from animals No need to hunt, just walk up to an animal and get that meat! Attraction Renamed EA's descriptions are simplistic with stuff like "Very Attractive". Some may find this preferable. Installation 1. Download MC Command Center and put it in your mod folder. 2. Enter an old save or create a new one. 3. Play a household on a lot with a computer. 4. Activate the computer and follow this path. "MCCC > MC Population > Other Settings > Bypass Sim Culling" then save and exit the game. 5. Download the folder from this page. 6. Place unzip the folder and drop it in your Sims 4 directory. Everything is pre-sorted for your benefit. 7. Go through this page and download the mods you want and then place them in your mod folder. Remember that script files can't be more than one folder deep. 8. Check through the mods you downloaded and delete any files that activate the debug options in game if you don't want cluttered cheat menus. (There's a lot of menus if you download each mod) 9. Delete the "localthumbcache.package" file located in your Sims 4 folder 10. Click on whatever button you click to play the Sims 4. 11. Load up the save and enjoy.

t2igg61 Posted August 29, 2024 Posted August 29, 2024 That was quick. Why am I so excited to try this out?! You're the best. If you do incorporate Love Struck that'll be the only reason I buy the newest expansion. LOL, not really, but I was gonna waite a bit. Thanks so much.

I was working on it for quite awhile before announcing that I was working on it. I've updated and I'm exploring all the new gameplay mechanics and the new world. Next release will be fully updated and will have all the expected lots functioning. 1
Lover_Boy6969 Posted August 29, 2024 Posted August 29, 2024 Hey @TriggerBlade idk if you know this but the BDP mod has been rendered obsolete as of a little while ago. Khlas's male interactions mod has merged with BDP so all that's needed is that mod. Khlas has said to remove anything that has BDP in it. Just a heads up in case someone's game bugs out after downloading all the mods from this list

vinceguldo Posted August 30, 2024 Posted August 30, 2024 But is it just my impression or there was no touch up of the outfits ? Every sims I checked still has the extremely conservative EA sleepwear

Every sims I checked still has the extremely conservative EA sleepwear I just used what Chindai gave me. There will be more outfits for a lot of sims in the next update. Example being Cassandra and Lilith's goth outfits from the Goth Kit. I will note that this is VANILLA+. Don't expect anything drastic like Santana's take on the Bjergsen family. An issue with the MrRakkon's World save was that it had A LOT of CC which was the primary cause for the lag. Edited August 30, 2024 by TriggerBlade 1

An issue with the MrRakkon's World save was that it had A LOT of CC which was the primary cause for the lag. Yeah, understandable unfortunately. I hoped, though, to see a little more characterization on that front. On the other hand I have to say that while I still have a lot of potentially dangerous stuff in my Mod folder (I assume so since in the rakkon world save I keep getting LE, even in my rebuild draft), this one so far has been incredibly stable, I'm so surprised, I got like one single LE in 3 hours! EA though always finds new ways to mess with the game, so when I had a trip to the Gym in winter people started freezing to death in chain, cause then everybody went out to see what was happening wearing light clothes, if I forced them to leave or MCCC changed their clothes to winter ones then new npc arrived wearing simple gym clothes.. it was a massacre.. Death itself could not keep the pace..

It brute forces NPCs to enter winter lots in winter outfits and to change into winter outfits when they go outside.
t2igg61 Posted August 31, 2024 Posted August 31, 2024 (edited) In the Events section the Bachlorette Party (https://konansock.tumblr.com/post/152942726908/brittpinkiesims-the-sims-4) is broken.

t2igg61 Posted September 9, 2024 Posted September 9, 2024 In the previous MrRakkon save what nipple texture or overlay was used so that they appear with clothing on? The nipples in CAS are blank unless I use an overlay from skin details.

The nipples in CAS are blank unless I use an overlay from skin details. This happens when you use skins other than the top set. I haven't been in CAS for a bit due to school but I think it's called the "warm" category? The only sim I know, meaning there may be a few I haven't checked, that has this problem is Ayla Secura. Who I'll fix when I get back to working on the save. 1

Coldheart48 Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 After going through all the Optional mods I see that my Event UI is glitched
chad6o Posted October 22, 2024 Posted October 22, 2024 Beware, todays update has broken XML Injector, so anything using it will also be broken.
